What’s the difference between Mavis Monitor and Mavis Camera?
They’re separate apps, each designed for a different job. Mavis Monitor is dedicated to viewing, with a clean, minimal interface that gives your image maximum space while keeping professional monitoring tools close to hand. Mavis Camera provides tools for capture, recording and connected production. Use either independently, or connect them over NDI to view a Mavis Camera feed on a separate monitoring device. In-app purchases are specific to each app, including separate NDI upgrades.
